The exact origins of Valentine’s Day are difficult to determine, but there are indications that the holiday may have roots in both Roman and Norman tradition dating back to ancient Roman history and about 300 C.E. Between February 13 and 15 in ancient Rome, a holiday known as Lupercalia was celebrated. This was a rather brutal and violent festival during which men would slaughter animals, consume them and then use the animals’ hides to whip women as part of a fertility ritual. The festival also included a matchmaking process in which men and women would be paired up based on a random lottery.

The Norman holiday known as Galatin’s Day was celebrated around the same time in the calendar year, and this holiday’s similarity to the word ‘Valentine’ may also provide clues as to the modern holiday’s origins. Additionally, the word ‘Galatin’ means ‘lover of women,’ which points to the more romantic side of the modern Valentine’s Day.

Famous British authors such as Chaucer and Shakespeare may have been at least partially responsible for the holiday’s evolution into something sweet and romantic in spite of its dark Saturnalian origins. However, the modern Valentine’s Day is likely the responsibility of Hallmark, which started mass-producing cards for the holiday in 1913.

Much has been in the news lately about Polar Bears, their changing habitats and climate change. Polar bears have long thrived in one of the harshest climates on the planet. But now global warming temperatures and thinning ice are threatening their habitat and their future. The longer it takes for ice to form the longer polar bears have to fast beyond the summer months. Many scientists now worry that polar bears may not survive.

Groundhog Day or Ground-Hog Day, is a popular tradition celebrated in the United States and Canada on February 2.

It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day sees a shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den and winter will persist for six more weeks, and if he does not, due to cloudiness, spring season will arrive early.

The weather lore was brought from German-speaking areas where the badger is the forecasting animal. This appears to be an enhanced version of the lore that clear weather on Candlemas forebodes a prolonged winter.

The Groundhog Day ceremony held at Punxsutawney in central Pennsylvania has become the most attended. The 1993 movie (Groundhog Day) helped boost recognition of the custom, and the celebration has spread even further afield. The largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, where crowds as large as 40,000 gather each year (nearly eight times the year-round population of the town). The average draw had been about 2,000 until the year after the movie screened in 1993, after which attendance rose to about 10,000. The official Phil is pretended to be a supercentenarian, having been the same forecasting beast since 1887.

Jsnuary 2018 is an active year with interesting Moon activities. We had a full moon on January 1st, which has been named the “Wolf Moon” by Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes because at this time of the year, the wolves howl in hunger. The Full Moon on the 31st is called a Blue Moon because it’s the 2nd Full Moon in the month. You could also say that it could be the “Snow Moon” that normally we see in February.

On January 31st, there is also a total eclipse of the moon, visible in Australia, Asia, Australia, Pacific Ocean and North America.

The GRAMMYs are returning to Oakland forGRAMMY Camp® Weekend on Saturday, December 9.

WE STILL HAVE OPENINGS IN ALL THREE TRACKS. Please let me know if you have any questions.

This free program, tailored for high-school age students, takes place from 10am-6pm on Saturday, December 9 at:

Best Buy Teen Tech Center at Alternatives in Action – McClymonds High School

2607 Myrtle Street,

Oakland, CA 94610

GRAMMY Camp® is a one-day non-residential music industry experience where a small group (25-40) of students gain an introduction to the business of music and how they can become successful in it.

We are offering three tracks in Oakland:

Video Production

Vocal Performance

Electronic Music Production

Video Production

Students receive comprehensive instruction on video recording techniques, including camera and miking technique, pre-and post production in multiple applications. Campers will also learn aspects of traditional music and video production, and budgeting as applied to today’s rapidly changing industry. Students should have a rudimentary understanding of video recording equipment and video editing software.

Vocal Performance

This track is for singers only. Singers’ skills will be honed with a focus on vocal techniques, background (live and recorded) and lead singing. This track provides campers with the opportunity to work and collaborate with instrumental combos as well as the songwriters, while learning valuable insights on sound business practices including effective marketing.

Electronic Music Production

Participants will learn state-of-the-art methods of programming, editing, sampling and mixing on digital audio work stations to help further develop their original compositions. This Career Track will also expose students to cutting-edge techniques in digital music production, remixing and sound manipulation.

Lunch is included. Limited spots are reserved on a first come-first served basis.

College Application Workshop: 11/29 & 11/30 @ 2:15pm @ RM 104: Come work on either the UC application, CSU application, or Common App. with us.

In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition is traced to a sparsely documented 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts, and also to a well recorded 1619 event in Virginia. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest. Pilgrims and Puritans who began emigrating from England in the 1620s and 1630s carried the tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving with them to New England. The 1619 arrival of 38 English settlers at Berkeley Hundred in Charles City County, Virginia, concluded with a religious celebration as dictated by the group’s charter from the London Company, which specifically required “that the day of our ships arrival at the place assigned … in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually kept holy as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God.”
